Reuben Frank, generally not a shit-stirrer, checks in on the Iggles front office imbroglio.

But Lurie is fiercely loyal to Roseman, who’s risen through the organization from intern to GM and has been here since 2000. Lurie even kept Roseman over his boyhood friend, team president Joe Banner, when Roseman and Banner were locked in a power struggle a few years ago.
“Jeffrey sees Howie as a messiah,” a one-time Eagles front-office exec said Wednesday. “Howie can do no wrong in his eyes.”
All of this front-office turmoil has been bubbling over in recent weeks. That’s why I asked Lurie in the locker room after the Giants game on Sunday — in his first media availability since summer — if he senses friction between Kelly and Roseman, the two most important people in the organization.
Lurie refused to answer the question, instead calling Kelly and Roseman “valued executives” who “cross over at different points.”
Asked whether Roseman would continue as general manager in light of his relationship with Kelly, a perfectly valid question, Lurie mocked the questioner: “Is that even a question? Absolutely.”
